IS PREDATION BY TURTLES SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO AFFECT BIODIVERSITY WITHIN FISHLESS PONDS?
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Ecologists have long known that predation can have a strong effect on the diversity and abundance of prey in ecological communities. Much evidence on the importance of predation in aquatic systems has stemmed from studies ...
Multiple Factors Influence the Strength of Intraguild Interactions
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Species engaged in intraguild predation (IGP) not only compete for the same food resources but can also eat each other. In some cases, a predator species in a higher trophic position (i.e., a top predator) can eat a ...
Risk Assessment and Behavioral Choices of Larval Anurans (Lithobates Sphenocephalus)
(2011-04)
Larval anurans assess risk and make behavioral choices to avoid predation. Since antipredator behaviors may reduce foraging opportunities, prey behavioral decisions can be constrained by a tradeoff between survival and ...
